I've got my car forsale on autotrader and I have blanked out my reg number. I had an email off someone asking for the reg. I told them all the details you need for a quote but he's insisting on having the reg number, is there anything I need to be concerned about?

Probably just wants to do a Hpi check. I've given it out before when people ask, can't see a problem with it tbh...but I dunno, maybe someone else has an opinion on it!

if somebody point blank refused to give me a reg on a car i was buying i would tell them to jog on, you need it for hpi checks, mot checks etc.also for insurance

Never understood hiding the reg plate ever. You drive everywhere with it displayed?!
Probably a Daily Mail thing

I would expect the plate to do a HPI.

Yeah ive personally never understood this either?
Why does displaying it matter when its parked outside/being driven 24 hours a day?
Somebody please enlighten me

People block them out because say I wanted to clone a red corsa, rather than walking up and down the street trying to find one I could just look up red corsa on Autotrader and have hundreds to choose from

I used to do it, not sure why. Feel like a fool thinking about it. Totally pointless imo.
